To the Editor:
A 64-year-old woman with peripheral vascular disease and
coronary artery disease presented to a university hospital with a
2-week-old hip fracture, which was operated on the day after the
admission. She had had a myocardial infarction 2 years earlier, and the
systolic function was slightly reduced. After the operation, the
patient had intermittent chest pain. Nitroglycerin had no effect on the
pain. The electrocardiogram was unchanged. Cardiac enzymes were
followed (Table 1
).
Unstable angina pectoris was initially suspected, and the patient was
treated accordingly.
